Four from Pac-12 on Thorpe watch list

Today, it's the watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's best defensive back. The watch list includes 39 players from 10 conferences, including four players from the Pac-12. Again, like every watch list, this is in pencil, not permanent marker. Names could change and appear. The winner will be announced at the The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, Dec. 11.
